Protests against ICE immigration raids erupted in cities nationwide, particularly in Los Angeles where National Guard soldiers were deployed. Thousands converged on major highways, clashing with law enforcement using tear gas to control crowds. In NY, smaller protests occurred near federal buildings, with demonstrators asserting that ICE was unlawfully detaining migrants. Many were taken into custody while speaking against police collaboration with ICE, prompting the Department of Homeland Security to label protesters as 'rioters'. More protests are anticipated as tensions escalate.
[Protesters] are here today because these are our neighbors. It's a catch-22: these people are following the law, they are going to their hearings, their check-ups.
Outside a federal law enforcement building in New York City, more than 150 rioters erupted to interfere with ICE's immigration enforcement operations. Thankfully, unlike in Los Angeles, the local police department quickly responded to the riots.
